2015 Indian Scout Announced in Sturgis

Indian Motorcycles, this evening, revealed the new 2015 Indian Scout at a private event in Sturgis, SD.

Billed as a "contemporary interpretation of one of motorcycling’s most famous and coveted bikes", Indian Motorcycles is looking to target both experienced riders and newbies alike. Built on a completely new platform that takes design cues and stylings from Scouts of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, the new 2015 Scout is a middle-weight cruiser that Indian hopes will attract riders looking for mixture of storied history and modern technology.

With a lightest in class wet weight of 558 pounds – the new Scout offers a breakthrough chassis design featuring a lightweight and rigid cast aluminum frame coupled with a low 25.3-inch seat height for exceptional comfort, poise and maneuverability.

"This is the first truly new Indian Scout in more than 70 years", the company's press release states, and goes on to reference its use in "walls of death" and the "Indian Wrecking Crew" racing team. The company also highlighted its use in World War II, and the 1920 Indian Scout that earned the title, "World's Fastest Indian" as proven by Burt Munro in 1967.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY

The 2015 Indian Scout is available for immediate ordering at a starting US MSRP of $10,999 for Thunder Black. All other colors start at $11,299.
